I like the Pioneer tool kit... If anyone has one they are willing to sell or know where I can get one, let me know. And yes, I know how to use google. Thanks

Looks good!

That is what I did. Removed the brakes all together. Brings it from a 1300 lb trailer to a 1000 lb trailer. I actually like mine with no brakes. I think Mark Harley removed the bakes on his as well.

Yep... I understand how to use google... was looking for opinions, from members, regarding what they have used and what has worked for them. All this "google it" or "look in the TM" stuff is getting pretty old. If you, or anyone else doesn't like the question or has a smart a** obvious...

As far as i am concerned, unless you plan on using the trailer to carry loads up to, and in excess of, the capacity of the trailer, the surge brakes are worthless. I just removed the Surge assembly, brake lines, backing plates with shoes and drums... All that stuff adds up to quite a bit of...

Funny. I am was just looking at a Hi-lift jack the other day and wondering how I could mount it on my Trailer. Would like a shovel and Axe as well. Suggestions with photos welcome. I want to figure out a mounting system so the tools are easily accessible, yet a thief would have a hard...

Thanks to Beerslayer and SteveKuhn. I appreciate the help. Depending on the weather here in MI, I should start the painting process in the next two weeks or so.. Jeff

Last thing... I was just looking that the Sherwin williams website and it seems they have many types of exterior paint. "Resillience", "Super Paint", "Duration" and "all surface enamel" fit into their exterior house paint line... Then looking at porch and patio it looks like they have "Porch...

Good News.... That is what I wanted to hear. Seems as if the house paint / porch& patio are the ticket. I think I am going to head into the local Sherwin Williams and have them mix me up some paint. I do have a HVLP spray gun that I plan on using. Again, I am new to painting anything...

Bump... How is the Latex paint holding up? Thinking of painting my M101A2 in the next month and will probably be using Sherwin Williams. One of the SW shops is 2 miles down the road. I plan on using a HVLP spray gun and using floetrol. I am looking for a smoother finish than the CARC...

By the way.... Looks good Mark.

I agree as well. I am not interested in Parades, car shows etc. I am also not a collector of MVs. I am interested in utility, plain and simple. Hauling, camping, off road etc. Fact of the matter is this.. People that complain about modding MVs usually are the ones that store their MVs in...

My understanding is the the white primer is used under the newer CARC. Has anyone else heard this? The old CARC used a red or yellow color primer. I have also read that if the new CARC was used on my VSE refurbished trailer in 2007, it should be stenciled with "WD CARC" however mine is...

That is exactly what I have heard and exactly what I am afraid of. I really dont want to have to pay someone to blast the thing down to bare metal. That would be way too much $$$$ and would just plain suck!

Yeah I was thinking bed liner as well. Again, just not sure how much prep I would have to do to the original CARC to make the bed liner stick and stay. Regarding the CARC as a urethane... I will say that it is tough but it does scratch rather easily from my experience. Any thing sharp (metal...

Thanks for the responses. Yeah, because the CARC is in such good shape, I would hate to have to sandblast the entire Chassis and bottom of the bed to take it to bare metal. I dont own a sandblaster and to have it done by someone would be too much $$$. To sum everything up, I guess I am...

Guys. I am not a paint and body guy so I figured I would post my question here. I have a 1992 M101a2 in very good condition. VSE corp reconditioned the trailer in 2007. It has no known rust and the CARC (Painted in 2007) is in very good shape. I live in Michigan and this trailer will see...

Recovery... what paint are you using for the build? What did you paint the chassis with?

Don looks like she is coming along nicely... Cool project. I am looking at probably painting my m101a2 trailer this summer. Don't think I will be using CARC though. Probably just scuff the original CARC, spray an epoxy based primer, and then a top coat of color. I need something that is...

Ok.. I looked for hours and could not find the Extended Lunette ring. BUT, at the last minute I came across the manufacture of the Lunette ring by looking at another photo of Mark's that was posted on another site. here it is. The extended lunette ring is made by a company named "Croft"...
